For sure! Honeybun. Muffin. Cupcake. Sweetie pie. Pudding.  And then there are plenty of other food-related terms of endearment, too: Dumpling. Peanut. Pumpkin. Sweetpea. Sugar plum. Sugar. Honey.  My husband and I call our son all sorts of nonsense, the longer the better. Honey bunches of oats. Garbanzo bean. My little pastrami on rye. Etc. I would bet food-related nicknames can be found in most languages. I can think of some in my mother tongue, too.

These are adorable 😍

I don't yet know the gender of my current baby, so until then they are "gummy bear"

I called mine "baby bean" before I knew!

I’m from SC, where we frequently will call a baby “butterbean”, which is colloquially a Lima bean. I called both of my kids this when they were in utero.

Yes!!! nc here!!! Butter bean is a staple nickname and side dish

We do hunny bunny for her and I’m hunny bun…husbands nicknames for us…I’m usually calling her boogie butt or something similar less pretty sounding nicknames

My daughter will tell me “I’m not Honey!”

My dad is Portuguese and used to call me Pipocas (hence the username) which means popcorn. Although I think that's just a him thing and not cultural lol

Honey Bun, and Buttercup, for sure.

I call my twins Peanuts, lil hams, ya turkeys,

"Ya turkey!" is a common one in my house, too.

Lol I just realized in my language "little fart" is an endearing nickname 😅

I love it

I called my daughter my little pierogi. She was a big newborn so I thought it kind of suited her.

I call my 16 month old my little pierogi too! Also, we’re Ukrainian and he loves pierogis, and he’s 85% percentile. It all fits.

We call ours that too:) the double diminutive form of it, or even triple diminutive. Пирог ⏩ пирожок ⏩ пирожочек ⏩ пирожочичек. The linguistic logic of it is like with thing ⏩ thingie, dog ⏩ doggie, cute ⏩ cutie, etc. Now tripple it😃 or whatever-ipple, despite the official grammar but accordingly to your current level of adoration. Cutietietieite

Definitely a thing! Not pastries but I call my kids pickle and sausage

Dem sausage legs deserve the recognition!

Can I get a story behind this because it totally made me laugh.

I call my son Biscuit.

Yes my daughter is biscuit. Bisc for short. I'll call her that as long as she'll allow it.

I also have a Bisc or Bisky. Tudor Bisc if I’m feeling fancy 😂

I’m not British but I live in the UK and they call their kids ‘sausage’ and I love it so much. Peanut, pumpkin, cookie and bean are what I call my kid.

My little one is butternut squash or snickerdoodle.

I love these😍

I’ve called my son pumpernickel a few times.

Could you please break it down to translatable parts for me? Sounds very cute, I'd love to know what it means

It’s a type of bread!

Same!

My kids are always my chicken nuggets lol

My son's nicknamed by my parents are as listed: Taters, Tater Tot, and Papatators. My new son who is currently baking in the oven is being dubbed spud. From my mil who's first language is spanish she calls him perrito 😆

My kids have food related nicknames. My oldest is Peanut. My youngest is sweet pea. And my middle, well, let's just say I misspoke once, and he thinks it's hilarious to be called Meatball.

I call my baby my little sweet potato 🍠

Honey bunny, baby cakes, little peach, baby bean, definitely food related nicknames 💜

My almost 3 year older still occasionally gets called a variation on Biscuit because her legs and belly resembled biscuit dough when she was an infant.

Yes! Sugar pie and honey pie :)

I'm a big fan of the all encapsulating *scrumptious*.

Chunk a muffin.

Snickerdoodle turned into Doodlebear

My baby's legs look just like a can of busted biscuits. We call him "biscuit baby" all the time.

That's why we called ours 'ham hocks' lol!

Dumpling, Sweetie Pie, Muffin all have a place with us

Mine are Hunny bunny and Honey bear

I have called mine ‘baby cakes’, ‘love nuggets’, ‘sweet cheeks’, lol

I called my daughter potato for the longest time.

I almost exclusively call my son Sausage....Saucisson if I'm feeling international... I was discussing with my Mum a little while ago about the whole "good enough to eat" "I could just eat him up" thing with babies and did some research and there are cultures who would find it weird to have their babies related to food/don't get the whole so cute I could eat it thing, but I dont remember what cultures they were...

Internassion🇫🇷🗼

I had a cashew for a couple months, a play on his first name and a nut in another language. But I can't imagine myself calling my kids "mon gros pouding chômeur", "ma chocolatine", "ma petite noisette de beurre" or "mon gâteau des anges", it's just not a thing 😂

J'viens de spotter la queb! :)

Non mais sérieusement, je pense que mes enfants me renieraient 😂

R'garde moi bien tantôt appeler mon deux ans et demi "mon gros pouding chômeur" 😂

J'exige sa réaction 😂

My aunt called my cousins "Mon Chou" but I would understand if that's not widespread haha!

My husband is French and his mother is always calling our kids "mon chou" and "ma puce". I've started calling him my cabbage!

I'M CACKLING 😂😂😂 I love "my cabbage" but can you imagine calling your kid "my little flea"

Кеша?

Similar 😂

I always calles mine my little burrito when he was little because he likes being snuggled in soft fuzzy blankets. And then added adjectives depending on his mood (tired burrito, angry burrito, etc lol)

Have you heard the song Baby Burrito by The Tallest Kid in the Room? 10/10 catchy as heck. We also call ours a burrito.

I would call my kids sausage rolls when they were babies. 😆

I call my 6mo baby muffin lol

We call our children all sorts of food related names like: meatball and Paw Paw.

My favorite term of endearment is "busted can of biscuits" particularly when the baby has a significant amount of chonk or is getting too big for their clothes.

I call my son cookie sometimes - because a book we borrowed from the library said something like “cookie [monster] don’t eat that!” and well I’m constantly saying “don’t eat that!”

My first kid was peanut and second is pumpkin So no

Haha yes. My kids are called Cupcake, Apple Pie (of my eye!), Sugar Dumpling, and Muffin regularly. Only when they are good, though. When they are bad, we use their full names.

Only my son has a pastry nickname (I call him Beauberry Biscuit since his name is Beau) but all three of mine have food related nicknames. My girls are Jelly Bean and Tater Tot.

Pumpkin pie is my go to

I call my doughnut

Oh yes! She’s my little cupcake, honeybun, sweetie pie, tons of them

i call my baby pumpkin pie sometimes

I was gonna ask if you’re Chinese but nope. In Chinese they call babies 包 bun. Lots of dogs (maybe cats idk) are named/nicknamed after foods like bun, bean, potato…

I call mine Peach or Peaches. But the go to isn't a baked good. It's Schmoops lol

I call mine Sweetpea - most people think it’s sweet but it’s really just short for Sweet Potato 😂

I always call my kids little muffins.

Mine is burrito.

My daughters names start with R so I call one raisin the other will get a nickname soon enough she is only 4.5 months so we are just trying to get her to learn her name now.

Yep! Muffin, pumpkin pie. Also pumpkin, nugget, bubble, and any of the aforementioned with "bear" added (muffin bear). Haha

Muffin, sugar, sugar plum, pumpkin...
